Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Namaste Moderators, I again received a mail from the publisher of the " Complete Works of Adi Shankara " asking if there are any buyers for the volume of books. I had sent a mail to the list couple of months back too for publishing in the bulletin board and did not seem to see it. Could you please send this mail to the list directly, as I think more people will know it? Namaste and thanks again Ramakrishna Namaste Advaitins, This is a mail advertising the collection " The Complete Works of Shankaracharya " published by the revered Samata Books. I have bought a complete set myself sometime back. They are completely worth the price. They are hardbound and print in good size readable font. If you think you will stick with Advaita for life (!), then there can be no better books than the ones that contain the original shankara-bhagavadpAda's words. Even if you cannot read Sanskrit now, you could buy them if you think you will read the books in some future date as the publisher is currently going through financial difficulties. One of the volumes is the stotras by Shankara and it worth gifting to others on its own as a gift. Here are a couple of tips: (i) When I was studying in a University in USA and got to know of rare Vedanta books, I used to place orders for them also through my Library, using a facility called " Inter Library Loan " or " Library Recommendation " . They bought some books for me and in the process, the University system got benefit (by buying those books) and the Indian-publisher also did so (because the libraries buy the costlier hard-bound edition). It would be good if someone in USA, and studying/working in Universities could make such bulk orders. (ii) You could also recommend it to your local Hindu Temple or Vedanta Centre to buy a copy for the library. Needless to say, I have absolutely no financial interest in this matter! praNAmaH to all advaitins bhava shankara deshika me sharaNaM!

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Dear Ramakrishna, Namaste. Is is mandatory to buy all the volumes. Because, i need only Prapanchasara Tantra. Has it been published by Samata? Kindly revert back. regs, sriram advaitin , Ramakrishna Upadrasta <uramakrishna wrote: > > Namaste Moderators, > > I again received a mail from the publisher of the " Complete Works of > Adi Shankara " asking if there are any buyers for the volume of books. > I had sent a mail to the list couple of months back too for publishing > in the bulletin board and did not seem to see it.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Namaste, 2010/2/19 Venkata Sriram <sriram_sapthasathi: > Is is mandatory to buy all the volumes. Because, i need only Prapanchasara Tantra. Has it been published by Samata? > > Kindly revert back. Prapancha-sara-tantra has been published as Vol#4 of this series. But for the particular question whether individual volumes are sold separately, the publisher Shri Krishna has responded as follows: " We are not selling the SET in volumes separately. Only VOLUME 1(STOTRAS) we sell individually. " Hope it helps Namaste again, Ramakrishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
